Overview

• The Railway Minister confirmed on July 23 that the ministry has commissioned software for MPs to book reserved train tickets online.
• The platform will allow sitting and former parliamentarians to book and cancel reserved First Class AC and Executive Class tickets at their convenience.
• Eligible users include MPs’ spouses and an accompanying person who qualifies for an AC two-tier companion pass.
• The project builds on CRIS’s recent RailOne app launch, which consolidated passenger services like ticketing, live train tracking, and grievance redressal.
• The software remains in development by the Railway Ministry and CRIS, and no official launch date has been announced.
